Wer Evgeny nicht kennt, der ist gut, hat am 28C3 auch die Keynote gehalten. Lohnt sich wohl dort hinzugehen.

The talk will also explore the possibility of finding some workable middle ground between cyber-utopianism and cyber-dystopianism, attempt to articulate what a more culturally-sensitive approach to studying Internet and democratization may look like and argue for the growing relevance of such approach, particularly as a way to avoid essentialist attitudes towards technology. Evgeny Morozov is writer, journalist, and expert on political and social aspects of the Internet. In englischer Sprache, Eintritt frei, Anmeldung unter events@iwm.at erbeten.
